The Legends show was in need of a new base for the year, as work continues on turning the Promenade-based Sands Venue into a luxury hotel and casino.

The longest-running tribute show in Europe is set to open at Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Friday and Saturday, March 30 and 31 - and promises to be ‘bigger and better than ever before.’

The special anniversary show will see increased production values to fit the bigger space, and a newly-written show for the venue.

The show will once again feature live musicians, stunning dancers and high production values.
